Answer:

was a narrow victory for Kennedy.

Explanation:

The presidential election of 1960 in the United States was contested between  John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. In that election, Kennedy had a narrow win, with him securing 303 electoral votes compared to Nixon's 219. He also won the national popular vote by 112,827 votes, and this was a slim margin of 0.17%. The proliferation of unpledged electors has led many to argue that Richard Nixon was supposed to win the national popular vote. He also contested that election with Lyndon B. Johnson who was a senate majority leader.

The fact that he campaigned in the populous states and used good campaign media like the television helped him to reach out to a larger number of voters. He was later assassinated in 1963.

enyata [817]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Truman fired MacArthur to preserve civilian control of the military.

Explanation:

After the invasion of North Korean troops into South Korea on June 25, 1950, MacArthur was given command of the international troops with a UN mandate, which he led to their first success when they landed at Incheon. In the course of the war and in the face of the deployment of Chinese volunteers and soldiers, he vehemently campaigned for the use of nuclear weapons in 49 North Korean cities and the expansion of the conflict into the People's Republic of China. President Harry S. Truman rejected these special requests on several occasions and finally dismissed MacArthur from his post on April 11, 1951 because of his continued and partly public urge. This decision led to violent protests in Congress and public demonstrations for MacArthur. Seven million people are said to have participated in a parade in New York. Public opinion saw MacArthur as a great war hero, while President Truman was largely unpopular.
